Fresh from helping Newcastle United secure Champions League football, Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes is a big-money target for Barcelona.
The Sun reports that the Spanish champions hope to bring in the Brazilian to reinforce their squad, which could help Newcastle balance their books.
“Barcelona want to sign Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes this summer,” the paper begins.
“The Catalan giants believe that the Brazilian ace can help catapult them back into Champions League contention.
“Selling Guimaraes would help Newcastle further strengthen their squad within the parameters of Financial Fair Play.
“And they would expect to command a club-record fee for a sale should they let him depart.
“Barca accept that Guimaraes is likely to cost around Ł87 million to prise away from the Toon.”
THIS IS BAD NEWS FOR THE CLUB, irrespective of the amount of money we would get for him. Removing Bruno from the team will be very, very unsettling, and will also affect JOELINTON. NOT HAPPY !!!!!!!!

not going to happen

98% of the transfer gossip online/in papers is literally made up. I have no worries about Bruno leaving. We’re building a team here, not selling one.

Balance our books? WTF. We've had 14 years of balancing books. This is a pure unsettling tactic. I thought these fkers would be the ones needing to balance their books.

Barca can't afford him and his wages.
They'd need to break Ł100 million for him, they can't afford that if they want to sign others.
They'd need to break massive wages for him, they can't afford that if they want to sign others.
They haven't brought their wages down enough yet to be allowed to spend, they'll need to sell.
Also, can't see him wanting to move at the minute. He's settled, his wife and family are settled, he's loved and important here . . . also, he's in Champions League.

With his son being born in the UK he just said, "Maybe some day he will play for England." He isn't leaving any time soon, he loves it here.

Exactly this. Why do we need to sell. We are on the up and up and could do better in the Champions League than Barca.
I think Bruno is settled here and won't want to unsettle his family.
As well as this there may be some Barcelona players wishing they were playing at the Toon.

Dont know how reliable is that, but just read that Beckham’s Miami club could sign Messi on a free and loan him to Barcelona, thus solving Barca wage issue.
Fair and square, if they pull it through, right?
Any chance we can get Buskets on loan if he signs for SA club and get away with it?
